I LOVE Syntrax nectar Protein. They have sooo many different flavor choices. I have had the strawberry which taste like strawberry milk and the french vanilla taste like a milk shake. You can find them at Vitamin Shoppe and its about $35 for a huge tub of powder. 24 grams of protein per scoop. (I mix 2 scoops with 20 oz of skim milk) A great thing about Vitamin Shoppe is if you don't like the flavor they will return or exchange it no questions asked.

I am not a chocolate fan but premier has a really good one. It's a pre mixed drink so great to grab when your on the go. One shake is 30 grams of protien. You can buy the chocolate at costco or they have vanilla online. It is $24 for a case of 18.

You would be surprised on how satisfying those Protein shakes are. I am on my pre op liquid diet now and am not starving like I thought I would be.

Aw thank you very much for the reply! I actually looked for a Vitamin shoppe here in Dover but we couldn't find one so I had to get the GNC brand Meal Replacement shake. Which is really good too!

Good luck with everything

I was done on 8/26 and everything went fine. I did have some gas pain though but it was gone within a week. Doing great now. Pre-op make sure you are getting strong for surgery and after surgery. I was told to do protein drinks at least 60-100 grams of protein per day and take 500 mg. vitamin C twice daily. Good luck:thumbup:
